FPP archivist and occasional guest joins us this week to discuss his love affair with all things wet plate.
We get to question him about the process, history, materials and a bit about gear though not too much (mmm another guest we need back on).
We didn’t discuss the zone system on this show so apologies to anyone out there who needed a zone system fix, you may have to wait a few shows.
